Art Restoration Services
Briana earned a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from the University of New Mexico and received training in museum conservation from New Mexico State University. She is knowledgeable in a wide range of art media and provides a variety of art restoration services for paintings, sculpture, ceramics and more. Briana works with galleries, institutions, public art and private art collections. She also provides routine maintenance services for outdoor and public art.
Due to the unique complexity of most restoration candidates, there is no standard price range for restoration services. A number of factors must be considered to determine the restoration treatments required. Therefore, each restoration project must be evaluated on an individual basis.
To obtain a free restoration estimate, please email photos of the damaged artwork for evaluation. Restoration lead times are a minimum of 2 months depending on the severity of damage. Briana is also available by appointment for in-person consultations. If you live in Durango, Colorado or within the Four Corners region, Briana can meet with you at the Animas Museum during the museum’s open hours.
Animas Museum Hours:
Mondays: Closed Tuesdays: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Wednesdays: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Thursdays: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Fridays: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Saturdays: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Sundays: Closed
